NC Farmworker Health Program Funding Opportunity 2021-2022

DHHS Division/Office issuing this notice: Office of Rural Health
 
Date of this notice: December 1, 2020

Deadline to receive applications: January 28, 2021
 
Working title of the funding program: NC Farmworker Health Program

Purpose:
The North Carolina Farmworker Health Program (NCFHP) is anticipating the receipt of federal funds to increase access to primary and preventive health care services for migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families in North Carolina. NCFHP grant awards are meant to supplement existing resources in communities and reduce barriers to care so that farmworkers and their family members have access to comprehensive and continuous health care services. NCFHP supports the development of sustainable services for farmworkers by encouraging local partnerships and collaborations to facilitate the inclusion of farmworkers in services that are available for the general community. 

Funding Focus: 
Funds may be used for enabling, medical, dental and behavioral health services for farmworkers and their families when these services are not otherwise available or if the existing services are not sufficient to respond to the demand. Because of the numerous barriers to care that farmworkers experience, NCFHP strongly supports the provision of quality enabling services including outreach, health education, case management, eligibility assistance and referrals to health care.

  • Preference will be given to applicants based on the following criteria listed below.

Proposed Project Period/Contract Term: 
April 1, 2021 - March 31, 2022 (exceptions can be made to have a July 1, 2021 – June 30, 2022 project period)
